Rob Peters Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I wonder how many years it will be before they actually have stock on them. Still waiting for them to get those reproduction metal front fenders in stock so we can hear from someone who has installed them but we can continue to wait for those too. rob 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means, if they do ever get it in stock by some small miracle, you'll still never see it.... 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SS Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 On a positive note, this could also be hope that they (SOMEONE) will finally also reproduce the 70 & 71 Grilles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am concerned if it ahs to do with OPGI forget it. always find it cheaper especially after their shipping prices 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall72 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Well, I'll be the guinea pig on this one. Placed an order for one. I'll do a review on it once it comes some year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I figured on it being a while before I get it like I do with most things with OPGI. For me, the juice is worth the squeeze on this one. My grille has bothered me for 20 years and the price to rechrome one is ridiculous. Figured that with the money back guarantee, its worth a shot to try this out.

McCall72 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 For what its worth, 2 people have left positive reviews with March 2023 dates on Opgi's website so it appears that they are shipping these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boyte Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Please keep us posted on this one ! They have talked about it for quite a while now. I will look forward to seeing pictures of it when it arrives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 SS 396 is also listing that grille on there web site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searsman Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Maybe Arron should just cancel his year old order from opgi and order from ss396 , I finally cancelled a 5 year old backorder from opgi on a rear view mirror... got tired of getting the on backorder emails every few weeks... I got it from SS396 anyway... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I don’t get why they would reproduce a 72 grille. 1970 & 71 would of been a lot easier. Sorry all you 1972 Monte owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry all you 1972 Monte owners. Probably came down to sales numbers. I think out of the 3 years the 72 was the biggest seller. More 72's more grille orders potentially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 To me the 72 would be easier to make do to less fins and little squares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Is it pot metal or plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Plastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layerac Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 I don't see a problem with it being plastic as most modern grills are plastic chrome and they hold up just fine and you get a weight savings too. also most old cars don't get driven in the elements so they will be fine.

Leghome Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 i would like to see one so I could see the quality of it. Mine is pitted badly and I don't have the funds to get a nice one from one of our venders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall72 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Called SS396 today in hopes of getting some more details on their grille. They are A. Also on backorder and B. the person on the phone didn't know what their grille was made out of. I was hoping to find out that they were metal grilles because theirs is a full 120.00 more dollars than I paid for the one at OPGI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
